What do you think Re: liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Yeah, I didn't do it. I'm following directions. I am less homocidal now B) . I wasn't having specific cravings, just not adjusting well to the MAJOR downshift in calorie consumption. Hungry is a huge emotional trigger for me, so I was walking around like a raw nerve. Today I'm on day 14 of the liquid diet. I go tomorrow for pre op visit (I have no idea what that means). I do believe I'll get weighed again, which is awesome because according to my home scale I've lost 11 pounds and I'd like to confirm it with their scale.

Good luck tomorrow! Will be thinking of you and hoping you have little pain and easy gas! :D

My doctor doesn't require a pre op diet... but I'm doing one anyway. I want to shrink my liver and lower my BMI before going through the surgery on 4/2.

Your prop visit might include pre surgery blood work! Call to see if you should fast before the appointment.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
